Review summary

Users praise the app for easy access to road cameras, the ability to group/add cameras, and its winter-travel usefulness. It’s seen as better than TripCheck and is ad-free. However, reliability concerns persist due to malfunctioning feeds and slow updates, and access often requires paying for a premium tier. The UI can be clunky (no map layer; search-by-name workflow) and coverage is not always comprehensive. Overall, strong concept with valuable features, but reliability and access limitations reduce its effectiveness.

Pros

View and manage multiple road cameras (WebCams) in one app, with the ability to add specific cameras and group them.
Convenient for winter travel, helping to check road conditions, closures, and chain-law requirements quickly.
Customization features like grouping cameras and saving camera lists for routes.
Better than the official TripCheck site; easier to view cams.
Ad-free, simple and easy-to-use interface.

Cons

Cameras frequently don’t work or update slowly, making reliability a recurring issue.
Paywall to access Oregon DOT cameras—premium subscription required for viewing.
Clunky camera access UX: no map layer, you must search by camera name and coverage is inconsistent.
Some cameras/routes aren’t visible or accessible (limited coverage).

2026-02-18	Ch*****	If I don’t have to travel in hazardous conditions, I don’t. There are times I have to be in my office 30+ plus miles from home. I’ve used tripcheck for years. Thank you for creating the app.

2026-01-07	cm*****	Will let you add cameras of your commute to look at, then next day won’t let me see any cams and has a pop up to ask you to upgrade to premium for a fee. It’s not much, but still frustrating. I found a way to go to the cctv map to find cams, but it’s very glitchy. I assumed this was run by ODOT and it is not.

2025-10-20	x5*****	Fantastic app that makes it super convenient for truck drivers who need to check road conditions and check for chain law quickly! It was a huge help for me last winter as it will surely be again this winter! Thank you so much for the app and keep up the awesome work!

2025-02-08	Be*****	This app is great for keeping track on your commute to your destination especially during the winter months because right now it’s snowing hard and it’s causing a lot of problems getting to your destinations but using the app you can see if the roads are closed and if delays are expected which makes it easier to plan ahead.

2025-02-02	Et*****	This app sounds good when you first download it. When you actually try to use it, you have to pay to access the Oregon DOT cameras. The app forces you to select cameras on your route, but then you have to pay to access them after the first time. No option to just look at the cameras. This makes the app useless.

2024-12-30	JT*****	Decent app with the acceptation that there is no camera map layer. You need to know the name of the camera and perform a search. Then you “build” camera lists. Very clunky. Cameras are a very valuable part of Oregon’s Tripcheck system and should be easier to access here.
